DELANO POV

Salem actually listened to what I said about the biting so I wanted to reward her. It takes a lot of Salem to actually listen. I got her tickets to see frozen live. Anything to make my princess smile.

Told gia about it and she was excited for Salem. I wanted to take Harlow as well but she shut me down on that idea. I don't understand why she's holding Harlow from me. I've raised technically four kids. The experience shouldn't be the problem. And she's our daughter.

Pulling up to gia's house. I parked the car and knocked on the door "come in the door is open!" I twisted the door knob and saw Harlow bouncing in her playpen. "Hi pretty girl!" She showed me her four teeth. Salem came running towards me. "Daddy!". I picked her up "Hey princess".

"Daddy? If I'm your princess then what is Harlow?" She asked.

"She's my princess too" I said.

"So you have two princesses?" She asked.

I nodded "yup". Gia walked out and smiled "Salem is going to be so excited when she realizes where she's going!".

"She's going to be jumping out of her chair when she finds out. Oh I wanted to take Harlow too. I mean why have her here alone. She can be with Salem".

Gia rolled her eyes "Delano..."

"Look I don't get why you keep denying me to spend some alone time with Harlow. She's our daughter just like Salem. So let me just take her. I have experience with children as you know. We have four".

She sighed "fine, but please... cause she may get fussy".

"I'll manage" I said. Gia went to pack her bag. "Daddy are we sleeping over too?" Salem asked.

"No not tonight. But maybe this weekend okay?" I said. She nodded "okay". Gia came back out minutes later with the baby bag. "If she gets hungry I put some formula in here". I nodded "okay, Harlow you coming with sissy and daddy!" She started bouncing again. "Harlow is coming too?!" Salem smiled.

"Yup, you guys get to hang with daddy today!" I said. I was so excited to have both my girls with me. Gia hugged Salem and kissed Harlow. "Be careful".

Packing up the girls in the car. "Salem do you know where we are going?".

"No, where?!" She asked.

"I can't tell you! But when we get there you'll know" I said. As I was driving I hear Salem talking to Harlow. Who would've thought I would have four kids. And I have two daughters who will probably give me a run for my money.

Once we got there Salem was the frozen headliner and was screaming. She was so excited. "We go see frozen?!".

"Yup, because you was a good girl and not bit anyone. You get to see frozen live" I said. She covered her mouth and smiled. Harlow and Salem were enjoying themselves. Just seeing Salem in her glory made me happy.

When the show was over we got something to eat well Salem was tearing into her food. And talking my ear off. This girl can talk. "Did you like mommy's friend?".

She shrugged "I don't know".

"He was nice to you, right?" I asked.

She nodded "when are you and mommy going to get back together?".

"Salem, I love mommy but I don't think we will get back together. Not right now anyway". She frowned "no fair. First Kai leaves and now you don't want mommy".

"Salem Kai is always there for you. He is just at daddy's house. And I don't know about mommy" I said.

"But mommy misses you!" She said.

"Salem..." I said.

"What? She does!" She said.

"Look... mommy and I have to get ourselves better before we could even think about be together again".

"How long will that take?" She asked.

I shrugged "I don't know".

She frowned again. "Come on lets go. It's getting late and Harlow is getting fussy". She got up and walked with me. She was quiet in the car. Feeling bad cause I know she's sad. But what could I do?. When we pulled up to Gia's house. I opened the door and saw she was crying. "Salem What's wrong?". She reached for me and cried in my chest. Sighing cause I wasn't expecting this. "Salem talk to me. What's wrong?".

She wiped her eyes "I miss you and Kai. I want you to live here". Before I could respond Gia came out to help me with Harlow. "Why is she crying?".

"She's feeling overly emotional. She misses Kai and me".

"Aww, Salem come here" Gia said. She shook her head and held onto me. Oh boy!. "I want to live with daddy!" She said. Gia gasped "Salem you want to leave mommy and Harlow?".

Salem looked like she was in a tight spot. "Harlow come too and you mommy. We can live together again!".

"We can't do that. I'm sorry. Come on let's go into the house" Gia said.

"Bye daddy" she sobbed.

"Salem listen to me... I love you! And you can always call me whenever you want and I will come and pick you up. I'm only thirty minutes away" I said. She sniffled and nodded "okay". I held her hand and walked her to the front door. When she went inside I turned around and walked back to my car. Nothing hurts more than my daughter crying because she wants her parents back together.
